Disclaimer

The information provided by Clinical Trials GPS on each clinical trial is only a summary and is intended to be only a general guide as to trial eligibility. Each pharmaceutical clinical trial in the United States is governed by a specific protocol that has been reviewed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The governing protocol contains the detailed specific information on both inclusion and exclusion criteria for each clinical trial and all such information supersedes any information you receive outside of such process, including from Clinical Trials GPS. Such criteria can be extensive and the Content presents only a brief and incomplete summary of the general criteria. Only the approved medical staff of each authorized clinical research site that is participating in a clinical trial can inform you of the specific criteria governing your participation in that trial.
